Abstract

The article deals with joining the educational content of the subject National history and geography with an environmental topic. A qualitative analysis of the author’s educational programme Prehistory – The Life of Gatherers and Hunters based on constructivist principles and psychosomatic participation of pupils, points to possibilities of connecting the instructional and educational potential of the chosen educational topic. A recording of the final verbal reflection completed with photographs of still images demonstrates the cognitive demandingness of education within a wider environmental context.
